A linguagem do sangue: explorando tridimensionalmente o sistema ABO

Abstract

Teaching the ABO System and Rh Factor in high school presents challenges due to conceptual complexity and the predominance of theoretical approaches, often limited by the lack of practical resources. Given this difficulty, this Educational Kit with three-dimensional models was developed to assist and facilitate the learning process of students in basic education, making it more interactive and visual. The educational resource was created by teaching initiation scholarship holders within the Institutional Program of Teaching Initiation Scholarships (PIBID), Biology Subproject, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (PIBID-Biology/UFRN), after completing the course "Development of Educational Resources in Science: Innovation, Copyright, and Technologies," taught by Professor Airton Souza Júnior. The 3D models represent blood cells and membrane proteins involved in blood typing, allowing the visualization and manipulation of the concepts covered. The proposed strategy aims to integrate theory and practice, promoting a more dynamic teaching approach aligned with innovative methodologies in science education through the use of new technologies to enhance learning. The validation of this educational material was conducted with third-year high school students, who reported an increased understanding of the content after using the three-dimensional model. Thus, this pedagogical resource emerges as an essential tool for Biology teaching, contributing to knowledge construction and highlighting the need for new resources to enhance education and address gaps left by traditional teaching methods
